Another post from Don-just for you.
While pondering over this short communication on my subject of senior wellness, anti aging, exercise for older folks that helps stay limber, general nutrition, etc I came up with this:
We can help others by having empathy for their aches and pains and understanding what they are experiencing on a daily basis, right? Well poor me has had a stroke, prostate cancer, looks like some colon problems, a degenerating shoulder and knee deal, thinning hair, low energy level. What else- cheeze, enough already. Cheeze and crackers shut me up if I ever complain ever again.
With anything else, having aged over 77 years, I am probably like many other people trying to keep on keeping on without too much bitching and complaining.
"Hey, how are you today" is usually not meant to be a question wanting a long answer. It's just a way we communicate love to each other. But many of us launch into "Well let me tell you about this pain and that ache, surely you are very interested"
I am truly making an all-out effort to be happy and normal ANYWAY and not burden anyone with whinning. That what this Blog is mostly about- Suck it up folks and get on with what God has given us. Try real hard now and find just one little thing to be happy about. There you go, you thought of what beautiful children you have, a spouse good and true most of the time...........
How can we discipline ourselves to shut up? One way is to look around us and see others: I found this while moaning and groaning getting up. Thought you might agree with me about becomming more aware of those less fortunate that ourselves, This is from a web browser firm that I use and like a lot. Take a quick read and give me a big smile and a slow nod...Good for you.
Flockstar Profile: Christopher Ryan Posted: 10 Jul 2006 11:48:52 -0500A few weeks ago a gentleman by the name of Christopher Ryan posted a message in our Community Forum. Christopher is great - not only has he given us a new way to look at the product we build, but he's also offered to help us out in many ways. This guy is a real Flockstar.
my name is christopher ryan, and i'm a spasdic quadreplegic with cerebral palsy. in laymans terms that means both my legs are useless and my right arm is equally as difficult. the bottom line is that i only have one arm, one hand, and five fingers capable of generating the movements necessary to be successful behind a keyboard and mouse. Christopher tells us what the stake are for technology and people with disabilities.

Welcome back to my blog, glad you made it back from the first post. With your permission we are going to discuss some facinating stuff. A quick background first, after reading every book I could find in my first 70 years) about living a good, long life, I found this subject well covered in Deepak Chopras excellent book, AGELESS BODY-TIMELESS MIND.

Deepak suggests that there is an alternative to growing old. Have you ever thought about the fact that we cannot get any younger but we sure can get a lot older. My interest , and I hope yours, is to search for the answers to that the question, "NOT how to stop aging but how to enjoy the time we have here on earth. (and to help our families have a good long life in the process)

One pundit, who I will introduce later, wrote that "In order to live a good , happy and healthy lifetime, we need to have some purpose in our lives. He observed that there must be something more than ourselves to live for such as Helen Keller and Mother Theresa did.

You are invited to comment on these observations with your own ideas and suggestions. Thank you.

Blog is being edited- Please be patient. It will be of some real value...
